TL for a pair of 8's..... ?
#31
Oh sorry I missed that . I like the 1/4 lambda tuning because it controls driver excursion at resonance and therefore distortion. As far as Sd area goes I find larger cross sections better for these longer lines. I also prefer offset driver to control ripple and if I'm using the line for a wideband application I almost always use a mass loaded type (ported). It controls the ripple better for a smooth response and easy transition to the midrange. Have you built many transmission lines?
and tube filling on that case?
Just a couple, only for the experience. 1/4lambda gave me strong peaks in 2x Fs but I never worked on them to reduce the peak

Lots of fill is bad for efficiency. People use to think that it only affected higher frequencies but this is false. I try to fix all ripple and peaks with tube design before adding any damping. Line dimensions and offsets will usually get you 80% clean, then you can fix the rest with fill. With software it's easy
